Not very clearly, I'm afraid; unless I missed something big in your two comments here, you went straight from "reasons to think there was an overarching theme at work" to "specific examples", without any real definition of the category you're describing.
But I certainly don't see myself in there; the only thing I can remotely recognise in my own childhood was an inability to catch a ball (for which I eventually overcompensated by teaching myself to juggle around age twelve). I was reading fluently from age two or three, and by the time I went to school the teachers simply had to find other things for me to do while they did reading with everyone else. In every other respect you mention, I don't see myself as unusual (in either the inconvenient ways or the potentially useful ones!). |
